I think you'll find the answer in this post - just added this post to the wiki for future questions
If you're unsure - butter use USPL one time too much than too little
Cheers, Peter
i have the MDA 3 from tmobile thats CID unlocked isnt it?
The MDA III is CID Locked by T-Mobile, you will need to run USPL first

I just couldnt wait any longer to get past CID lock, so I unlocked at http://www.imei-check.co.uk/
(removes SIM/NETWORK LOCK - use any provider, removes CID lock - flash any firmware)
costs: 30,68 euros.
good news: cid unlocked, upgrade to any rom now possible!

I have a T-Mobile MDA G4 which I paid to have CID unlocked about a month or so ago. I was wondering if CID unlocked is the same as SIM unlocked?
I don't need to use the device on another network, just wondering if CID is the same as SIM unlock.

Dave;
You should really read the Wiki first; this very question is addressed there very succinctly, as is many other questions and issues that all of us should read about first. CID and SIM are different, hence the different initials. The WIKI explains what they mean

I bought it in a computer center and separately choosed an operator (Bouyguestel) to work with.
I have no SIM from any other operator to check if i can access to the network. (or i have to ask a friend for it tomorow !)
Is it possible to know that by only entering my IMEI in a specialised website ?
I want to flash my P3300 with WM6 and the latest ROMs.

CID and Network are totally different things. Your device might be SIM unlocked but CID locked and vice versa. If your device is SIM locked. You have to pay some money to unlock it. If it is SIM unlocked but CID locked, it does not matter. You can put any ROM on your device as long as it is alive.
my dopod M700 from China,it was reloaded by a english rom ,It is sim unclocked.how i know about CID,pls tell me specifically

As far as I know a device is ALWAYS CID Locked until you unlock it! and with the Artemis, the only way to do this is to pay some money to www.imei-check.co.uk so as long as you did not pay them to unlock the device it is CID-LOCKED.

Correct, listen to him if you like your phone.
Thanks all for your precisions.
So i just can update my OS Rom, but if i don't want to crash my artemis, i should unlock its CID before radio or other Rom update.
help
My 02xda after an upgrade for wm6 stop at 02 boot screen, what can i do now???
help me please.
Hi everyone.
I have an Orange SPV M700 with WM6, Tengo Free and Tom Tom v6. All working nicely, thanks to all the help on this forum!!
I have one last problem, i have ordered a t-mobile PAYG sim card so i need to unlock my phone for it to work.
I have read the big thread about the CID unlocker and seems some people have been having problems with it uncluding myslef.
Can anyway give me the download that will work or a link to it??? I just want to to able to use t-mobile sim in my phone, but don't want to give orange £20 for privelage.
Cheers a lot guys.
As far as I've been lead to believe once you've flashed the WM6 you should be sim unlocked. That may (assuming I'm correct) be why you've had problems CID unlocking after updating as you're already unlocked.
To upgrade to WM^ i used the three files at the top pf the related thread. Not sure if any of those CID unlocked. Tried a virgin mobiel sim in it and didn't work?
Some phones won't unlock the SIM even with CID Unlockers. HTC, O2 and Voda tend to be unlocked by default; Orange and T-Mobile phones are supplied SIM locked.
I've done the WM6/Radio update and my SPV M700 remains SIM locked to Orange.
I think the only effective way over this is to pay £20 to IMEICheck for a full SuperCID Unlock. Their service is superb if you are willing to pay the price!
Download this and follow the instructions (1 step really) ... http://pof.eslack.org/trinity-unlocker/
Mine is an Orange M700, was SIM and CID locked with original Orange ROM. Ran the above unlocker and could use any SIM on Orangae ROM. Then updated with WM6 and new radio ROM and the phone is still SIM unlocked and SuperCID unlocked. No need to pay any money for this simple thing.

Cool- I'd missed that one! Know he did one for the Hermes
One thing to watch if you are paranoid about Warranties, is that this version works by updating the Radio ROM, which technically is a warranty breach (though as most Orange Techs are so ignorant about these devices, they'd probably not know anyway!)
nice am goin to give it a try
Hi
Check the link on my signature - has SIM-unlocked my Orange UK SPV M700.

Hi guys,
I'm a newbie. I purchased a XDA Orbit and want to know if the orbit is CID unlocked?
If the CID is unlocked, does that mean it will accept any other sim cards?
If my Orbit is unlocked does that mean I can put a new ROM on it?
Thanks in advance guys
I would like to know as well how to check whether it is a successfully unlocked device...

When the device boots, see if SPL number is 1.11.0000.
If it is like that, then it's CID unlock.
Cheers
